Lovell Canyon trail work day — 11/20/2011 West side of the Spring Mountains (just west of Las Vegas)
Get out and help the Forest Service by "brushing" the Lovell Canyon trail. This means we will construct the trail corridor to prepare the route for tread building. Volunteers will cut back brush, remove rocks and down trees. It will be tough, but satisfying, work in a beautiful location. Please contact Kurt with Friends of Nevada Wilderness at (775) 745-3119, or Friends' office at (702) 839-5569. This project is open to adults, seniors, and groups (Beginners are welcome, and participants must be able to hike uphill with tools and supplies).

Another opportunity for you to help the Forest Service by "brushing" the Mud Spring trail. This means we will construct the trail corridor to prepare the route for tread building. Volunteers will cut back brush, remove rocks and down trees. It will be tough, but satisfying, work in a beautiful area. Please contact Kurt with Friends of Nevada Wilderness at (775) 745-3119, or Friends' office at (702) 839-5569.
